and discussed on the africa's facebook page and other social media platforms. foreign fighters to now. we're here this you know i mean in your minutes and gone yes what an group are mostly. what employees are enemies who have got on with what an organizer and upwards with them i'm. going to leave because i see them seriously . but are current on what they're doing fronted. this is due to the news every count on the program today more and more women around the world are speaking out about the violence they have experienced at the hands of man when he put the spotlight on gun and one woman shared her story with us activists in the country say the train thing is an exceptionally high. and we will meet one of senegal's most promising junkies he's jon benet to the dome

a sticky canal the 19 year old has his sights set on international glory. hello i'm christine one it's good to have your company the conversation about women's safety has been ignited once again since that recent u.n. report revealed that male violence against women remains the high the report said one in 3 women around the world have been physically feel sexually violated by a man they are in a relationship with one of many countries where male violence against women is causing a problem is gonna the country records around 3000 attacks by men and women yet this month alone 5 women have been killed there by bad male partners in a moment i'll be joined by one of the country's leading activists but 1st though

here is a story of one woman who survived her ordeal. judy has been divorced from her husband for 6 months now after 8 years of marriage for hair there were 8 years of suffering her now ex-husband started abusing hey within the 1st year of the a marriage including physically she difficult trapped by it's hard to know we're out so she tried to commit suicide several times i went to a pharmacy to buy a sleep aid this is a prescription drug doing going to give it to me so i said. i was i was bringing about like a mad woman telling lies just to get stuff to harm myself. and at the end of that d. algaba 30 pieces the legs the i set off again the 30 out of 100 and i took everything

unfortunately nothing happened to me at 1st she did not speak out are a part of the abuse to their pleas she was afraid of being stigmatized even some members of her own family did not believe hair she now suffers from permanent headaches and stupas the physical scars she says that finding the courage to speak out and leave him are each saved their life in the 1st time i really came out i felt liberated. yeah i felt good i felt who. ended. i felt i felt like i was carrying. heavy baggage that was just ticking off me and i think that is those well they healing process begun and the reporting of gender based violence cases has been a major problem in fighting the menace the german development agency g.i.

said and patents are helping to change the trained using technology. the mobile app is now available to help victims report on money mostly in a form of violence they have experienced via s.m.s. interactive voice response or voice recording the developers of the op wants people to get stalking and gain the help they need. speaking now if the fs there that you can actually seek justice speaking nap is also the 1st that way you can get help and speaking up is the only way that you can protect your family you can protect your colleague you can protect whoever is close to you from being a victim of gender based violence in the future. are many activists wants districts to do more to help victims get justice quickly this see that's would encourage more

people to come forward and some of the stories. in terms of those interventions i think that we need to do more with the people we need to do more i think government . by strengthening the police system. strengthening the court. you know strengthening social welfare services. she is not at the kitty have a life and career to fight for the rights of victims of domestic violence she was victims to leave abusive relationships as soon as possible. my religion doesn't need any healing if it is no working it is no working move out and save yourself. she hopes her story will inspire other victims of gender based violence to speak out and secure. and to talk more on this we've invited dr angela

a boy jay onto the program she's a lawyer and gender rights activist in ghana welcome to news africa angela tell us about the organization that you run it's called the foundation what was the reason you began this work well the. christian based organization that's works to support abused women and children that's our core work but apart from that's we also engaged in training of service providers we do a lot of advocacy with other organizations and we also do a lot of community education instance. so basically that's what the been doing for the last since 1999 we also run the face shelter for battered women in this country since 1999 we continue to offer a myriad of services the wide range of services to victims of domestic violence right angela what do you believe is the reason male violence against women is so

and acceptably high as you put it in ghana. well there's simply impunity impunity in the sense that people who do these things think they can get away with basically speaking and they can get away with it because of the social cultural. understanding of the rule of men and women especially in household and domestic arrangements so if one person has more power than the other the tendency to use this kind of power in an abuse of we is strong unless that person is restrained by their own you know maybe religious convictions or bring in or by the law and because for a long time the law has not really done well in restraining people the keep doing it actually a very is this appen out that will allow women to report incidences and nor not to mislead do you think that it's going to be effective in addressing the situation as

it is and gun. i think it will have to be tested for a while to see i'm very happy there's an up anything that can add to the services for victims of sexual and dead of these violence including domestic violence we are happy about ok because already there's a death in services in the country and so i'm linking the launch of this up to the needs of services we have if we don't the game of institutions in our services when somebody seeks help even from the op there's a limitation to what anyone can do in terms of the police the courts the social services the angels the what ever that's my concern i'm hoping that it will be addressed we need to send so on these things are not the way you know you can talk and that's their upright take but it may clearly not be enough for somebody who

needs actual help. and do you agree with the sentiment that this far too much emphasis on what women should or shouldn't do to protect themselves we often talk about the victims and less focus is put on the men perpetrating this violence against women. well i agree too to an extent but if your life is in danger you're not really thinking about you know who should be educated now or who should be educated next you're just thinking about how to make sure that you keep your life together and you keep your children together so you know the focus on knowing what to do if your face in violence as a woman in fact as anybody is very important i don't think is to sift at all however it is time to also indeed to more men in the discussion this has been done in the past but for some reason i think that some of the things that you hear is

that ok for those of us who are working in this area we south so loudly they don't want to hear so maybe is that the tone of our voice is that the message we are putting out is that the strength of this social cultural norms and an understanding is something that we need to engage in an era get a lot more and also to start some real perpetrator programs where the institutions are concerned because the law actually gives the courts a lot of power is too big or dis for men to participate in some of these programs which we don't have it thank you very much to dr angela boy talking to us from ghana thank you and our next story isn't cynical way and 19 year old has become one of the country's most promising. sharkey's a new deal has already won several prestigious races at home now the rising star

hopes to go even further and compete internationally. meet the fellow deal one of senegal's most talented jockeys. he has taken his love for horses and turned it into a promising career. only 2 years ago he already won the country's most prestigious horse racing prize. i love the epic races when i was younger i would go with some of my older siblings who had horses and one time when they made me ride one i fell and broke my arm but still i came back and decided to be a jockey. every day he trains intensively from early in the morning till late in the afternoon here on the banks of lap rows. over the past 50 years competitive horse racing has become a national past time here in senegal. for law says

his love for racing runs deep in his family both his brother father and grandfather were jockeys he lived school when he was just 12 and switch books for horses now he earns up to 600 dollars per race so he has no regrets. it. doesn't matter how this horse is young and with my weight i'm one of the only jockeys that i'm right or if she was entering into a competition i would be among the 1st to ride her. for a long things this is just the beginning and wants to start competing internationally in the next few months. want to be the best jockey in a country other than mine it could be in iraq or france anywhere where there's horse racing. at

to. go hear how afrobeat is based in the music industry in the. world. now to a film that premiered this month at berlin's international film festival and is coming soon to h.b.o. and sky tina promises never before seen footage of the music icon and features personal recollections by tina turner herself. look what i have done in this life with this body. had to get to the plate and feel that myself a letter was not top of the. chain that i was how a young go born is and i'm a bit of became the superstar you know trying not the story of the hell she lived through with hospitals and musical part not ike turner and how she escaped is for many out but still packs and the motional paanch. in some ways we are telling that story to a new generation. but we are also hopefully exploring it through tina's point of

view and what it means for her to be kind of. so associated with some of the worst times in life ahead of the beasts of life is no other way to tell the story. in 978 tina turner divorced her husband i can't launch a solo career by the 99 g.'s she was one of the biggest pop stars in the world no i don't consider it a comeback that never. hurts to have to remember those. episodes a forgiveness takes over. but i've only seen the train a bit i'm joined by my colleague adrian kennedy asked has seen the whole fail adrian what did you make of it when it's an incredible story and this is a remarkable documentary after me i was a little skeptical because a lot of the story is very familiar seen it on

a farce talked about the abuse that she received at the hands of her ex-husband in an interview in 1981 with people magazine this documentary makes extensive use of the recording of that interview further revelations came a few years later in the fingers autopilot her feet. and that book was the basis for the quite harrowing bio pic. what's that got to do with it in $1090.00 free but this document tree does manage to present this in an even more stark fashion there is graphic descriptions of the abuse she received in the hell that she lived through was the world believed that she was living the dream life of a successful star right that we heard tina mentioned forgiveness there is this the final chapter of the story. she mentions figured respect is very little bit abstract

a little bit vague it's more about letting go about healing for her in the past she has said that she could never forgive ike for what he did to her but here she does speak with some sympathy about his insecurities and about the discrimination that he experience as a black artist in america but. died in 2007 and there was no reconciliation while he was alive but tina story does have a happy ending i believe because tina actually found love here in germany that's right indeed she lives securities life in a swiss villa with her husband german record executive back they met in the eighty's they married in 20 seeing and she calls it one true marriage and get this back even donated a kidney to the singer when she suffered kidney failure in 2017 well that's what i

call true love is there any hope that tina might be out of retirement no not really she's she retired 2009 and she has said that. she enjoys doing nothing so we really only have the music and we have this documentary which is more than just a run of the mill music documentary it is also a poignant tale of survival against the odds ok and all of us can see tina from this weekend on h.b.o. and sky documentaries thank you very much for giving us a taste adrian thank you. more culture news now and another tell all music documentary is premiering this month's my. our goal to be careful i think demi lovato dancing with the devil the u.s. singer reveals she was sexually abused as
